GREENSBORO, NC -- Fifteen golfers from Atlantic Coast Conference schools will tee off Thursday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, as part of the 2014 PGA Championship.

Eight league programs will be represented in the tournament, led by Georgia Tech with five golfers: Roberto Castro, Stewart Cink, Matt Kuchar, Cameron Tringale, and Chesson Hadley. Florida State (Georgia McNeill, Brooks Koepka, and Jonas Blixt) has three former players in the field, while Wake Forest (Bill Haas and Webb Simpson) has two representatives.

With two regular-season events remaining, 12 of the 15 ACC golfers at the PGA Championship currently sit in position to qualify for the FedExCup. Kuchar leads the group at No. 4, followed by Simpson at No. 15, Clark at No. 27, Haas at No. 34, Streelman at No. 36, and McNeill at No. 37. Eleven of the 15 are currently ranked in the top 100, with the top 125 qualifying for the playoffs.

Golfers from ACC schools have combined for five victories at the PGA Championship, with the most recent coming in 1997 by Love III. Three Florida State Seminoles won the event in a nine year stretch from 1985-93: Hubert Green in 1985, Jeff Sluman in 1988, and Paul Azinger in 1993. Wake Forest's Lanny Wadkins was victorious in 1977.
